Darlo Uncovered

Big game tonight at the wrong end of the table. Rob will probably choke on this but COME ON WAKEY!! If only to keep Leeds below KR. Unusual weekend as we have to wait until Monday night for all other games. Quick return v Cas for us. Castleford Tigers 19:45 Hull Kingston Rovers Hull FC 19:45 Catalan...

Had reynolds not come in 1999 the club would have gone bust then and i dont recall anyone boycotting games in his early days as chairman. He seemed quite popular with some good ideas to get more fans in, especially those of us who were teenagers at the time who followed premier league teams. Im sur...

I think most Darlo fans have "let it go". It's the media that have this perpetual link between George Reynolds and Darlington football Club. It's just so easy for them to cobble together an article, and don't you just know it will always feature these words and phrases - "safecracker" "administrati...

Integrity also short in Premier League with Spurs charging £60+ £1.75 booking fee for entry after 17 May. Contrast the greed of this Big 6 pretender club to Burnley who are giving 3500 free entries based on ballot of season ticket holders. That is integrity! I was totally dumbfounded when I heard t...

Wow what a win tonight ! Tigers had to dig deep to overcome a plucky Salford side, its a pity Wane is in charge of England as he wont be picking McShane, the winner of the Man of Steel isnt good enough for him. I do fancy us to beat the Wire, would love a trip to Wembley. Fuming. Got the other 3 wi...

It seems after 17 years with no connection to DFC AND now being dead, we are still named in his headline. Will we ever be free of him???

Not while people on this forum drool over every article written about him.

Labour can change as many leaders as they like, it won’t make any difference until they start connecting and listening to people again. It’s a party stuck in its own bubble, the party of the affluent metropolitan cities. Less affluent areas like Hartlepool no longer feel Labour represents them. And...

On the BBC Sport webpage there is an article about a "Fan Engagement Index" whereby all league clubs are rated in how they communicate and interact with their fans. Exeter are top, and their fans raised £100K for them - less than us :D Meanwhile Salford sit in the bottom 6, meaning Mr Neville doesn...

Good to see that Wigan's Tony Clubb, has been banned for racist language in the game against Hull. Although surely a longer ban would have sent a stronger message, that this idiotic behavior can not be tolerated. Reduced punishment because he has never done it before !!!!! Strangely Wigwam defended...

You seem to have lost the nucleus of a pretty decent side & now your having to bring in fringe players who aren't up to it. Fortunately for Leeds, there are worse sides in the SL. Still got key player to come back from injury but as I say papering over the cracks Think Comeon is nearer the mark Pet...

Lidds will be biggest miss and Campbell always put in a shift, but TBH would like to see some bigger bods capable of winning headers and holding up the ball. AA has an eye for decent footballers so I think he must have replacements in mind already as he would not have let them go. Did he "let them ...

I don't think the home in time for tea relates to actions pre 1991. It is very much around behaviours which were seen post 2012. Note my last paragraph! As we only spent 1 season in the NL is it really worth worrying about anything that was said outside that season, and apart from Waste and Norton,...

A piece on the ex Darlo brothers from the BBC website prior to the FA Vase Final. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56917361 Just read it before coming on here to check the rugby. A shame for the extended family they can't go to watch. Always thought we parted company a tad to soon after Amar's ...

Good win for Huddersfield today, as they surprisingly beat Leeds who seem to be struggling at the moment. I have never been convinced that Agar is the man to take them forward. If Sinfield is to get it right he needs to stop the old pals act. As I said yesterday, I am happy Udders won. No match for...

4 won. 2 to go. Watch my lot throw it away for me today !!!! Well you did say it, as you got truly hammered in the last 20 mins. How much would you have won? Put a fiver on would have got 140 back. That said, I now want Leeds to get stuffed today so we don't drop a place. It was not quite like that...

Well that was deflating. Swapped 6 at the start of the second half and at 60 minutes you could not call it but then Warry got the run you need with a couple of dropped balls from us and 2 tries run in with no defence. Came back with another try but Warry went in again as well. Not a 20 point game in...

Half time. Good game from both sides. 0-6 to KR. played real football with 2 kicks from the floor after a good 6. 6-6 Good passing try from Warry just after we missed a second chance. The chance came from us throwing the ball and being intercepted. Deflated us for a while and 12-6 with a very good p...

4 won. 2 to go.
Watch my lot throw it away for me today !!!!

Well you're one sixth of the way there. Tough game for Wigan tonight & a real arm fight. Jackson Hastings was MOTM yet again & i think Hardaker won the battle of the full-backs. Yes he clearly won that battle. It is a shame that Connor lets his head get so full of garbage. He could easily be a MOS ...

I have to say I do not get all this animosity to the "Home by tea" league from some. While 1 or 2 clubs were a bit shitty, (Waste and Norton etc), most were welcoming, and the league were not forced to put us in their top league so they could have made things worse had they felt inclined. Don't set...

It wasn't the league who didn't want to take part was it? Clubs were eligible for promotion they just chose not to take it so it was the clubs rather than the league. It was encouraged somewhat by Amos who seemed to praise this stance by the clubs and wanted the NL to be a ceiling. It was more his ...

Here we go again for a weekends action. First time ever I have had a bet on all 6 matches as an accumulator as 5 of the games seem quite 1 sided to me. Wigwam to beat Dull 3 away wins tomorrow for Saints, Cats and Cas. Leeds on Sunday. The joker in the pack, taking us to win at Warry on Saturday. C'...

Wonder how Rob feels about ex-Hull coach Lee Radford, taking over Castleford at the end of the season?

I came on to post about this.
I had exactly the same thought as you.
I do not see a good half of Cas's players fitting with Radfords style.

I have to say, from the little I have seen, I do wish the KR fans had been as patient with the club as Darlo fans have been waiting for news like this. Day after day, week after week, it has been "I am going to give up my pass. Sick of not been told anything" Well done everyone who has waited quietl...

But didn't they win the World Cup in '66?!

YEP.

I don’t really enjoy Premier League football anymore. It’s just too sanitised for me. The pitches are always like bowling greens, the players in the main have lost their personalities, the football is spoilt by VAR. And I object about this latest thing about points deductions for the Big Six (The B...
